OG13 SC19关于同位语修饰

doudoucc

19. A pioneer journalist, Nellie Bly’s exploits included circling the globe faster than JulesVerne’s fictional Phileas Fogg.

(A) A pioneer journalist, Nellie Bly’s exploitsincluded

(B) The exploits of Nellie Bly, a pioneerjournalist, included

(C) Nellie Bly was a pioneer journalist includingin her exploits the

(D) Included in the pioneer journalist Nellie Bly’sexploits are

(E) The pioneer journalist’s exploits of Nellie Blyincluded

Logical predication; Modification

This sentence intends to discuss NellieBly, a pioneer journalist who counts among her exploits a very fast trip aroundthe globe. The current construction is misleading because it suggests thatBly’s exploits, not Bly herself, were a pioneer journalist.

A In this answer choice, a pioneer journalist incorrectly modifies exploits, rather than Nellie Bly.

B Correct. This version correctly attributes the modifier a pioneer journalist to Nellie Bly.

C The wording of this version is illogical becauseit makes NellieBly the subject of the verb including.

D Since this event clearly happened in the past,the tense of the verb are is wrong. Piling on too many descriptive words forthe noun exploits [the pioneer journalist Nellie Bly’s exploits] makes the phrase unwieldy and awkward.

E This version can be construed as entailing that the pioneer journalist andNellie Bly are two different people, one exploiting the other.

The correct answer is B.



B项中同位语a pioneer journalist修饰前面的名词，但是这里前面的名词是The exploits of Nellie Bly, 核心词是exploits。意思说不过去啊，所以就一定是修饰NB的。是不是只要不会造成歧义就可以直接接其所修饰的名词啊？同位语修饰有什么特别的要点啊？我都晕了。。。。




有人帮忙解答一下吗？？？？？在此拜谢啦!!!

明白了，语义最大，貌似只有没有歧义都可修饰。

有一个问题了，那语法笔记里提到的下面这条是不是就不对了？还是我对“核心词修饰”的理解有误？

同位结构的特征
(1)        起修饰语的作用,一般用于修饰名词或名词短语；“解释的是整个名词，不是名短中某个词”，故同位语不是核心词修饰。

望NN解答~~~

我知道是名词词组，就是没写清楚。但是这个名词词组的核心词是exploits啊。A项中A pioneer journalist修 ...

这个显然不对吧，根据prep语法笔记“同位结构中名词的数可以和其修饰对象不一致”

LS的要求，Nellie Bly，一个先锋探险家，他的探险包括了环游地球，这比凡尔那小说里的菲利斯.佛格的旅行还快。

题外话：菲利斯.佛格是科幻作家凡尔纳的著名小说《环游地球80天》的男主人公。后来拍了部同名电视剧，由007的扮演者皮尔斯.布鲁斯南主演。凡尔纳的其他的名著还有《地心游记》、《海底两万里》等等。

弱弱地问 这道题目的中文翻译，看不懂句意

我知道是名词词组，就是没写清楚。但是这个名词词组的核心词是exploits啊。A项中A pioneer journalist修饰的是exploits，B项这个名词词组的核心词也是exploits。我就是想知道同位语是不是就修饰离它最近的名词，就不考虑of这种情况下真正意义的核心名词？

同位语是紧邻修饰。  

碰到of结构，很多modifer都是要看context, 例如， which，that。。。。

这题你 N1(exploits复数) of N2(Nellie Bly单数), N3(A pioneer journalist单数)，
根据语法规则这里很清楚N2和N3是同位语。

同位语功能比较强大，可以修饰前置名词词组的中心词，也可以修饰修饰词。这个在GMAT中不认为会有歧义。
